The DI messed up big time here...Welcome back, Ted.<br /><br />The DI messed up big time here. In their rush to "disprove" generally accepted evolutionary processes, they commit elementary reading comprehension errors. This is what happens when ideology drives "science reporting."<br /><br />The relative harm of mutations is also over-emphasized, as you correctly point out. For example, point mutations, where a single nucleotide is substituted with another, often result in identical amino acid coding, because there are generally several different nucleotide codons for a given amino acid. Such synonymy occurs in roughly 25-30% of all point mutations, if I recall my calculations correctly.rubblehttp://thereligionforum.comnoreply@blogger.com
